The interview started off with introductions. He was very chill and made the whole thing feel easy and like a conversation. He then asked the basic things he needed to, such as flight times in the last 30/60/90 days and 12 months. Then asked if I was willing to be on reserve and fly my assigned schedule. After those "gotta ask" questions we moved into HR. He asked "why did you choose SkyWest" and "Tell me a about time when you felt uncomfortable in an airplane." He asked what would be some of the biggest differences or changes at SkyWest compared to my current job. We then moved into the technical portion. He asked about "descend via the STAR" clearances and how to comply. He asked about holding speeds and speed limits in class E under the Bravo and...

The interviewer was a super chill former captain that has been with SkyWest for 26+ years. He made sure to try and keep it laid back and let me know from the beginning that it was going to be educational and conversational and to relax. Started off by talking about himself for a little and then asked about me. Then asked about 30/60/90 and ATP times progress. Started the technical portion by talking about what docs you need for your person and the plane. Seemed to be laid back throughout the... -

The interview was pretty much what I was expecting after reading and studying from this guide and other people's experiences. The interviewer was with a First Officer, he started by presenting himself and then asked me to present myself, a brief story of how I got to this point in life. He checked all my documents and asked for my hours in the last 30/60/90/120/year. After that, we started with the documentation required for pilot and airplane. Next we continued into the technical part. No... -

It was a flight from DEN to SLC, we were at cruise altitude and only 100NM from the destination when the flight attendant calls and says one of our passengers is suffering a heart attack. Immediately transferred the controls to the FO and used the 2 in 2 out method, which he really liked. I decided to continue to our planned destination since we were only 100NM away and all our briefings, checklists and set ups were ready for that... -

Interviewed with a first officer who had been with Skywest for about 2 years, and had been professionally flying in another capacity for about 20 years prior to that. Started by saying that it would be a relaxed format, but not to forget that it’s an airline interview, so relaxed, but professional. He introduced himself and told me his story, hobbies etc., then I told him about myself. After that we went over my logbook, and if there was anything I needed to disclose that may come up... -

Verified hours all ATP min requirements & 30/60/90/120 day 6/12 month times. Why Skywest? Explained to me a couple new acronyms and things skywest likes to use. Those threat models were MEAN, TEAM (anticipated vs unanticipated threat). Make sure to take notes on them. Required docs pilot and aircraft. Then into high altitude... -

Overall the environment was very relaxed. He made it a learning/teaching environment. About 30 mins of introductions, and housekeeping questions. Threw in some HR questions then the real interview began. Asked the difference between a TAF & METER and ask me to read both. Based on the TAF he asked if an alternate was required. (1,2,3). He threw in what is an mircobusrt and characteristics of a thunderstorms right there too. Asked about alternate minimums. Went into Jeppesen charts &...
